An image from early October that was tweeted out from Star Trek Mission New York.
A 1993 Hallmark display for the Enterprise D ornament.
The cardboard display is an insert that looks to swap in and out of a Hallmark display similar to the one for the 1994 Bird of Prey display.
1993 U.S.S. Enterprise Magic Hallmark Ornament Store Display (Ornament not included)
Made of plastic and cardboard.
Appx. 16″ tall x 12″ wide.
On the back there is a pocket that holds the plastic pegs. Unsure what their purpose is.
No ornaments are sold or promoted for the benefit of this website but when we come across something interesting we like to highlight it.
On eBay is an auction selling off a lot of 84 1992 Galileo Hallmark ornaments. At an asking price of $700 it averages to $8.33 per shuttlecraft.
A great opportunity for someone looking to resell them on the secondary market but it would make our day to see a Christmas tree decked out with nothing but Galileos. Someone needs to make that happen (and send us a photo)!
